South Dakota Pet Friendly Cheap Hotels

This may be called the badlands, but pet lovers will find all good in South Dakota. The two largest cities, Sioux Falls and Rapid City both have excellent dog parks. Plus, all along I-90 you can find plenty of South Dakota pet friendly hotels.

The largest city in the state, Sioux Falls is just across the border from Sioux City in Iowa. One of the favorite greenscapes in the city, Falls Park allows owners to walk their leashed dogs on the trails. So does Lien Park on Cliff Avenue. But, just south of Lincoln High School is Tuthill Park, and across the street from that is an off-leash fenced area. Leashed pets are allowed in the sports fields and playgrounds there as well. While in Sioux Falls, leave your pet in the comfort of your cheaply priced pet friendly hotel room and venture to Washington Pavilion. Here you will find museums and performing arts nestled together. Listen to the symphony, see a play, join in on an arts fest, and tour the Kirby Science Center. Tour the battleship USS Dakota which served in WWII.

Rapid City is to the west on I-90 near the border with Wyoming. The town boomed in the late 1800's because of the Black Hills, perfect for mining and hunting. Be sure to visit the expansive Black Hill National Forest. Or, stay in town and stroll the seven acres which encase the Journey Museum and Gardens. Speaking of Gardens, the Reptile Gardens allow leashed dogs to walk alongside their masters on the tour. There are several dog allowed parks in the city. Wilderness Park is unfenced, but is off-leash. The Braeburn Addition is another off-leash area with a creek running through it. Head for Knollwood Metering Dam to find yet another off-leashed area, or to Robbinsdale Park southeast of downtown on East Fairmont, not too far from Rapid City pet friendly hotels.
